PurHemp Oil for Dogs

Short for HEMP, Hemp is a liquid extract that’s derived from special hemp strains of the cannabis plant family. Once extracted from the hemp plant, the liquid Hemp oil contains substances that we can break down into two categories: hemp extract and terpenes. There are over 100 hemp extract known to exist and of these Hemp has by far the most medicinal benefits. Hemp oil also has 100+ different terpenes, which give the smell and taste to the plants and oil. The Hemp oil for dogs is no different than the one you take. However, you’ll find it in varying concentrations to account for the weight difference.

In mammals, certain messages are passed between nerve cells via a system of receptors which can only be activated by a cannabinoid such as Hemp. The messenger receptors are called cannabinoid receptors and the overall messaging system is called the endocannabinoid system, the body makes its own hemp extract, however they sometimes degrade faster than they can be synthesized. Luckily the natural Hemp inside hemp plants provides a great alternative cannabinoid source, to assist the endocannabinoid system, which the nervous system uses to control critical body functions such as: immune response, pain sensation, appetite, memory, mood and more.

Research is still ongoing and there is no conclusive data that would allow us to legally make medical claims, however we can reference the fact that many of the worlds leading universities and institutions are actively studying the possible benefits of Hemp Oil for dogs:

"There is no conclusive evidence to support official conclusions however, the FDA does "support the rigorous scientific medical research of marijuana( cannabis/hemp)-derived products". Ongoing research at universities include the potential uses for conditions such as:

Pain (e.g., arthritis, bone pain) Anxiety (e.g., separation, loud noises, fireworks, travel, crowds) Inflammation Nausea and vomiting Loss of appetite Seizures, convulsions, and muscle spasms. For more information on the current studies being held in regards to Hemp checkout our scientific research library here."

Both hemp and marijuana are species of cannabis plants, and while they have the same hemp extract and terpenes, they have them in very different ratios.

In particular, hemp contains very low amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), where marijuana contains a lot of it. High levels of THC results in the high associated with marijuana. Hemp is already naturally low in THC, and we can reduce it even more with basic farming practices giving us industrial hemp.

Marijuana has around 20-30 % THC vs. industrial hemp 0.01-0.3% THC. That means marijuana has one hundred to a thousand times more THC than hemp, and this makes all the difference.

You don’t have to worry about your Hemp product when it contains under 0.3% THC. Fun fact: that tiny bit actually contributes to some big therapeutic benefits via the entourage effect.

Because Hemp comes from cannabis, people often wonder if it can cause a high or if it’s legal. The wonderful news is when Hemp is derived from hemp, it cannot cause a high, and it is legal in the united states under the 2018 farm bill and over 40 countries worldwide.

Hemp oil for dogs is a natural plant-based oil that works by sending signals between nerve cells via a system of receptors activated by a terpene. Luckily the natural remedy inside these plants provides a great alternative terpene source, to assist the central nervous receptors, which controls critical body functions such as: immune response, pain sensation, appetite, memory, mood and more.

We source directly from farmers, purchase in large volumes, and own our own manufacturing facility where we don't have a third party bottle our product for us. We deliver straight to you and cut out all the middle man.

We are an honest company and hope you choose our Hemp products over others. However, our main goal is to make sure all pets around the world are happier and healthier. So we want to show you exactly what to look for in Hemp, even if that means you go somewhere else. Now, of course, all of Innovet's Hemp products meet these standards. With that said, here are 5 Guidelines To Follow When Buying Hemp oil for dogs:

Organic: Hemp has a lot of amazing benefits, and one of those is it’s great at cleaning up toxic spills. This makes it so important that you only chose Hemp derived from organic hemp grown free of any harmful chemicals.

Extraction Method: There are many dangerous ways to extract Hemp such as butane and alcohol. However, the safest and most effective method is solventless CO2 extraction, and it is why we use it.

Certificate of Analysis (COA): Unfortunately, many companies lie about how much Hemp is in their product. That’s why a certificate of analysis is so important. This is awarded to companies that have had their Hemp for dogs independently tested for quality, accuracy, and safety. You can find ours here.

Inactive Ingredients: A carrier oil like organic hemp oil should really be the only inactive ingredient in Hemp oil. Many companies cut corners by using MCT oil as a solvent carrier oil, so stay away from products containing this cheap alternative to hemp oil.

Full Spectrum, Broad Spectrum or Isolate: Full spectrum Hemp has the largest entourage effect and isolated Hemp has zero entourage effect. Broad spectrum Hemp is Hemp isolate with other hemp extract or terpenes artificially added to make mimic full spectrum. Accordingly, broad spectrum has more entourage effect than Hemp isolate but still falls short of the superiority of full spectrum.

Calculating the most optimal dose of Hemp Oil for your dog can be a bit confusing, especially since we have to take into account multiple factors like; your dog's weight, the concentration needed, and other less common variables. For this reason we have created a comprehensive dosing guide that is perfect for answering the question, “How much Hemp Oil does my dog need?” The quick answer can be found by getting the average dose for your dogs weight which can be found easily by first entering your dogs weight and then selecting the exact bottle of Hemp that you have purchased (125mg, 250mg, 750mg, 1,500mg, or 3,000mg). After inputting these two pieces of information you can then take into consideration the concentration that you want to give your dog. This can be found by looking at the same row that is defined for your dog's weight and then choosing whether you would like to implement a minimum, low, average or maximum dosage. When choosing the concentration amount you should take into consideration if your dog is barely starting Hemp as some noticeable effects take time to arise. We always recommend starting with a smaller dose and gradually increasing it over time to find the perfect balance. You also should take into account that you should give them less if they are taking medications or other supplements. At the end of the day we can clearly define a perfect amount for everyone but with these tools you will be able to find the most optimal dosing amount for your pet and their specific needs.

PurHemp uses the most reliable suppliers for phytocannabinoid oil for humans. Everything from the ingredients to the bottle and dropper are human grade. The owners and staff of Innovet use PurHemp on ourselves and our own pets. Our goal has always been to make the product Equal Or Better In Every Way To Its Human-Use Counterparts. However, Due To The Extra Liability Involved In Marketing The Product For Human Use, Officially We Are Required To Say That It’s Only For Pets.

No, absolutely not. Our Hemp for dogs is sourced exclusively from 100% organic farms, so this is never an issue. Even though none of our ingredients have ever been exposed to pesticides, we still routinely have our phytocannabinoid oil tested by a third party for potency and the presence of any toxins/pesticides. You can see the results on the certificate of analysis found on our website.

Our PurHemp+ oil is diluted to the proper concentration for use with pets. It must be diluted with hemp oil or you would be trying to measure impossibly tiny doses (smaller than a fraction of a single drop). Hemp oil is the perfect carrier oil for PurHemp+. Our 30ml bottles contain 125mg of Hemp per bottle.

We recommend refrigeration out of an abundance of caution. prolonged exposure to sunlight or heat can cause the oil to prematurely spoil. Heat above 160°F will cause the PurHemp+ to breakdown and become ineffective. Refrigeration is the simplest way to ensure the longest possible shelf life. For most people, however, refrigeration isn't needed—it’s just ideal.

Most dogs like Hemp’s grassy and nutty flavor, but not always. As well, sometimes administering an oil isn’t always easy.

That’s why we offer delicious Hemp Treats and Soft Chews that are perfect for when you and your dog are on the go.

As well, there is our heal.protect.wag Balm that’s great for supporting normal joint & muscle health along with healing and soothing damaged & dry skin. Topicals allow you to focus all on Hemp power directly on the spot that needs help.

Because Hemp has been shown to improve health benefits, small dosages work well in daily Multivitamins and add a crucial element to botanical extracts designed to help with Digestion, Mobility, and Skin & Coat health.

A lot of our customers like stacking multiple Hemp products together, and this is a brilliant way to care for your dog’s health. Just make sure to always calculate how much you’re giving. We help with that down below!

Each case is unique, and you must consider your pet’s medical history. There are over 1500 prescription drugs for pets in the United States; each of them could interact in a different way with any supplement such as Hemp. If your pet is on any prescription medication we recommend consulting with a veterinarian before administering any supplement, including our own. Our comprehensive dosing chart is the best place to start; the second page of the chart has a form to help you and your veterinarian coordinate the use of prescription meds with Hemp.

It all depends on your pet and the medicine being used. Currently, the FDA has only approved the isolated version of Hemp for use by 1 mega pharmaceutical corporation. They spend approximately $1 million lobbying for special fda regulations and back door politics. That's why the FDA allows them to market isolated Hemp as the cure to some rare forms of childhood epilepsy (btw: they charge each child $32,500 per year for their cure). Innovet Pet products do not buy special favors or lobby any level of government, accordingly we are very limited with the claims that we can make. That's also why we now have to say that none of our products are meant to treat, cure, or mitigate any disease. always check with your veterinarian before starting, stopping, or adjusting the dosage of any prescription medication. Many drugs, especially anti-seizure medications, must be weaned off slowly or else withdrawal symptoms can occur.

A big talking point for lovers of Hemp is its low side effects. In fact, the most common side effect of Hemp is it just doesn’t do much for some dogs. It’s a pretty rare side effect because most times, the Endocannabinoid System can do with a helping hand in some way.

High dosages can cause tiredness where low and medium dosages are more likely to provide a slight boost in energy. While dogs rarely have issues sleeping, some owners find high dosages work well for keeping their dog calm.

Remember to only give your dog hemp Hemp as marijuana and products high in THC are not safe for dogs.

All the available evidence indicates that long term use of Hemp oil causes no side effects; however, Hemp oil has only truly been available for pets for a couple years. The most common reason our customers cite for using Hemp is to replace prescription drugs that have a known history of long term side effects. Always consult your veterinarian and use our dosing chart/schedule to coordinate the use of Hemp with prescription medications.

We wish we could give you a definitive yes or no answer to this question; we know how terrible of an ordeal a pet seizure is to experience. Since we do not sell medical drugs we can't make medical claims, but we do have pet owners using our product specifically for pets who suffer seizures.

There is still ongoing research being done on the benefits of Hemp for dogs, but it is heard that it may help calm occasional anxiousness.

Unfortunately, because this is a supplement we're not allowed to make medical claims regarding its use as a treatment or cure. However, this is the exact reason we began using this product on our own pets. (our founding pets were diagnosed with cancer; Maximus was 16 and Gordo was 8.) you can read more about our experience with Maximus & Gordo.

Hemp oil for dogs works by interacting with endocannabinoid receptors in the central nervous system. This system is linked to many of your pet’s bodily functions, including the regulation of inflammation and pain.

This means that Hemp may be useful for easing joint pain associated with arthritis. Speak to your vet about whether they think Hemp for dogs may be useful in your pet’s case.

While we are not aware of any specific issues regarding using PurHemp with pregnant pets. However, we must always advise that you consult your veterinarian before starting or stopping any medication or supplement with pregnant pets.

The current research that is available to us in regrards to using Hemp Oil for Dogs varies greatly. Much of the research is focused on arthritis but a lot of people use Hemp for off-label uses.
